Snakes 🐍

Almost all of us know what snakes are. They are lengthy, they crawl, they are venomous and human are scared of them.

But here are some uncommon facts many do not know about this reptile.

1. The Cats in your house, the turkeys, pigs, and guinea hens are natural predators of snakes. Meaning, having these animals on in your home is an effective natural way to keep snakes away.

2. Snakes do not like smoke, onions, garlic, and lime. They stay away from your home when you have these. Especially when you slice them in corners of your house.

3. They are weak during harmattan period. They hate cold.

4. Snakes are deaf, they can not hear any sound at all, no matter how loud the sound is.

5. Snakes have a poor eyesight, which is why they resort to sticking out their tongues all the time to get a sense of their surroundings.

6. However, they can see in the darkest of the night.

7. Snakes don't have noses like we do. They have nostrils to breathe with, but snakes smell with their tongues—when a snake sticks out its forked tongue, it smells its surroundings.

8. Another interesting fact is, Spiders kills snakes—More than 40 different spider species can or will kill snakes.

9. Unlike dogs, cats, rats and birds, snakes simply do not have the right type of intelligence to recognize one specific human from another. If a snake sees you one minute ago and it’s seeing you again, it has no ability to remember you.

10. When a female snake is ready to mate, she releases scent as she slithers around minding her business. When male snakes perceive the smell, they trace her to wherever she is. Many at times, there can be over 10 male snakes who will come to her to mate her.

11. Female snakes can store sperm for up to five years. And they get to decide whether or not they will get pregnant. Different male snakes may deposit sperms in a female snake, but the female decides which of the sperms she will use.

12. Female snakes have two pockets where they store sperm for immediate or delayed reproduction. When a snake gives birth, the babies can come from different fathers.

13. Female snakes reproduce once or twice a year,

14. Lastly, not all snakes lay eggs; depending on the species they either give birth to live snakes or lay eggs.

MODERN-DAY IDOLATRY

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Matthew 22:37

An idol is anything that replaces the one and only true God in our lives. It can be anything that appeals to our own heart more than God does, and anything that takes a significant amount of our time leaving us with little or no time to spend with him. While the Scripture condemns idolatry in strong terms (Jer. 25:6), many Christians engage in idol worship today without knowing it.

WHAT ARE FORMS OF MODERN-DAY IDOLATRY?

Unlike the past, where idol worship is bowed down to statues and object typical of pagans in many cultures, modern-day idol worship is expected through various insatiable pursuits and cravings of man, driven by his sinful nature. These shift all attention to man, leaving God out of the equation (Isa. 42:. It is also expressed by portraying and painting God contrary to sound and total biblical precepts but revealing Him to suit personal values and ideologies (2Tim. 4:3). Quite often, modern-day idolatry takes the form of:
1. Self-worship - expressed through aggressive pursuit and realization of goals and dreams in which God is excluded.

2. Materialism - great or excessive regard for worldly possession (1Cor. 7:31).

3. Pride and Ego - which often takes the form of obsession with career/business to increase social status (Eccl. 2:21-23; Prov. 8:13).

4. Idolising fellow humans - reverencing renowned individuals above God e.g. music stars/actors, footballers, ministers of God, politicians, spouses, etc.

5. Naturalism and the power of science - this clings to the illusion that man is the Lord of his world due to scientific and technological breakthroughs (2Pet. 3:10-13).

6. Self-indulgence - through alcohol, drugs, excessive watching of TV, excessive and abnormal use of social media, clubbing, and gambling among other things (1Cor. 10:31).

ARE THERE CONSEQUENCES?

1. Deviation from the laws and teachings of the Lord (2Tim. 4:3-4).

2. Loss of zeal for the things of God (2Tim. 4:10).

3. Generation departure from God (Hoses 4:17).

4. Eternal separation from God (1Sam. 2:29-36).

5. Incurring a divine curse (Dan. 4:30-33).

In conclusion, Self-worship is the basis of all modern-day idolatry. It is a lifelong battle in Christian life that must be resisted (Eph. 6:11; 2Tim. 2:3-4).

Long time we have built brown roofs, this was the best they could come up with

MadamExcellency:
Eastern Nigeria is different because all ancient buildings and monuments were bombed and leveled during the Civil War.

The buildings and roads are recent and somehow modern.

I guess the civil war took place before photography came! lol

That most have been about 700 years ago because we have photographs of more than 300 years accros the globe. Locations in the North, and West have pictures of close to 200 years except yours.
E no go better for that Gowon and Awolowo who bombed your primitive enclaves in 1469AD!

EmekaA125:
Lol....see flimsy excuse. Do you know how old Onitsha, Awka, Enugu, Abakaliki and other towns in Igboland are yet they look modern and less primitive?? Yorubas are yet to explain why there are many brown roof enclaves in their neighbourhood.

How old please?
Old places without history of old civilization. Nowhere in the world claims oldness without anything to show for it.

EmekaA125:
Hahahaha. Same with Ibadan, Akure, Abeokuta, Osogbo and Ijebu-ode.

The most glaring fact about those brown roofs is, when they were being built you guys ancestors were still living in mud and thatched houses, walking na.ked about like gorillas and chimpanzees. Aren't you noted thar North, East, West, South, you're about the only place without history of old buildings?
Just ponder!

EmekaA125:
All SouthWest towns look alike.

... Because they were self built places more than a century ago unlike...

While many do not believe in Reincarnation – the rebirth of a soul in another body, the photo of a man looking exactly like that of singer Wizkid has left social media in a buzzing state.

The photo of old Wizkid making the rounds online was a man who look exactly like the singer in the year 1789 – that is 235 years as of the moment of filling this content today, January 26th 2024.

In the 1789 photo of Wizkid, he was seen with an Afro hairstyle, adorned with a glass on his face alongside a man with a similar hairstyle.

FAKE NEWS: GLO NOT OWING MTN

Facts have emerged to prove that the reports making the rounds about a phantom debt owed to MTN by Globacom is a fallacy.

According to investigations, the story is a campaign of calumny against Nigeria's fully indigenous telecommunications company that has redefined access to communications at all levels.

A source informed us that what was due in payment was N1.6 billion, and the said amount had been paid without any controversy, wondering where the peddlers of the fake news got their information from. Could this have been another case of deliberate falsehood and ineptitude?

"It is either the act is deliberate or gross ineptitude on the part of the detractors, who find it difficult to do ordinary cross checking of facts. Glo does not owe MTN, not anybody," the source said.

Nigerians have therefore, called on the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and President Bola Tinubu, to intervene and stop the witchhunting against Nigeria's only solely owned telecommunications company.

Recall that Glo is the first telecom that introduced the pay per second form of billing, thereby cutting the monopoly of the other foreign companies operating in Nigeria.
